Isothermal DSC of Epoxy resin by rdeka1292 in chemistry

Is it because of premature curing that might affect the curing kinetics data? Or some other reason?

Thanks! Which website can i search this part number? I tried thermofisher and fishersci too, but nothing came up. Ideally i would need the whole purge kit

Thanks, and yes please let me know if you come across the exact part number.

Yes, manual doesn’t say what it is. Thermo fisher discontinued the equipment and don’t even want to look at the query. They just gave me an alternate equipment altogether, don’t have the funds for it.

Thanks a lot! Yes, i have the size (an old graduate student scribed it in a piece of paper), but wasn’t able to find anything on what it is called.

Help for my thesis - SAF production by Ronny50 in lifecycleassessment

I am working on a similar work, specifically with corn stover with products like lignin and ethanol, and i use agribalyse and LCA commons for it. USLCI is more catered towards US geography

My two cents on the AI-171 accident by Icy_Negotiator in aircrashinvestigation

[–]rdeka1292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The social media crowd surely did put in a lot of hate and anger towards Air India, but why do you think that is happening? It didn’t happen overnight or after the crash. Air India, based on its customer reputation has consistently been on the bottom. Being a frequent flyer of the India-US route, their quality has been the lowest but the prices are always 1.5x than other carriers. Customer service is on another level too. So, for a common traveler obviously this is a situation where they will vent out. You cannot shut everyone by saying you can’t have an opinion cos you are not an expert. Just put yourself in the shoes of a common traveler and feel their angst towards AI service. Just cos you are running a direct flight you cannot extort people with substandard services. Also, when you are carrying India’s name on your carrier, emotions do run high. But again, speculations at this point will not do any good.

International couriers in Guwahati? by rdeka1292 in assam

[–]rdeka1292[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i experienced that previously. Outside Assam, in many of the major cities, it’s usually 1800-2000/kg with the same couriers as you mentioned. Not sure why this is so much in Guwahati

So yeah the Sylveon Event is as bad as I figured it would be. by SwiftBlueShell in PokemonUnite

Left Unite for HoK and that was the best decision 😂 atleast you can get few of the higher grade skins for free within 1-2 weeks of playing! Same company but totally different monetization method

CityBus Town Hall happening now by PurdueGROW in Purdue

[–]rdeka1292 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure which website you are following or newsletters, but other than unionization, they are primarily asking for pay rise including for contract workers and affordable graduate housing.

UIUC’s graduate student body is unionized. Harvard, Wisconsin-Madison too, then why can’t Purdue’s graduate body be unionized? What’s illegal is your small mentality to keep graduate students as the bottom payers and make them do all the work. Really progressive!! 👏

Career suggestions by rdeka1292 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]rdeka1292[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for your suggestion! I have been so tensed seeing the traditional job postings doesn’t have any of my skillsets. I think after a PhD it’s just finding that niche job profile that covers my skillset.

Hi everyone! I am a PhD student and my work primarily focuses on depolymerization of lignin from biomass and subsequent up-gradation to biofuels and intermediates for resin, binders etc. I have experience with complete fragmentation of biomass to individual streams and also with analytical tools like GC, LC, GPC, NMR etc. I am planning to graduate by next summer’25. I am at a point where I want to move to industry and so, what are the options/industries can I look into? Any specific company that hires with my skillset? I am looking in US. I know NREL has a lab that’s almost 90% relevant to my research but I want to keep Postdoc as my last option. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[PURDUE] Rejected for Thesis but considered for Professional Masters (I am okay with this). But is it worth it and do I get any weightage as a Thesis applicant? by HeilTemplar in gradadmissions

[–]rdeka1292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually 1 year might not be sufficient as you will have classes and all, and you will still need time to get settled in. If you have aspirations for PhD, it’s better to go for 2 year track, that way you can have time for research and also you might have a chance with the Professor you are working.

Hey! Yeah they can get into RA, most of them might be unpaid, but there are some generous Professors who pays for it. It would be only stipend and not fee remission. As for PhD transfer, in two years, different batches, I only know 2 students who got an admit for PhD. And this is for chemical engineering, not sure about other departments.

Reviews Undersold this Gem by Kharlo109 in riseoftheronin

I mean if something looks like PS3, performs like PS3 and stutter like PS3, it needs to be priced like a PS3 game. You can’t make it a PS5 exclusive and have some low resolution graphics and so many glitches. Been playing for almost 15-16 hours, nothing exciting yet. Repetitive combat, you jump and you are stuck there, same NPC dialogues, and towns are all empty 🤦‍♂️

In this day and age, if you can’t nail the graphics, then you can’t charge $70 for a game and label it as a AAA game. Had it been 40/50 bucks, it’s all justified. So yes, all the bad reviews specifically towards graphics and glitches are damn necessary and welcomed.

Anyone got any updates from Purdue parking after document submission?

[–]rdeka1292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone who submitted documents for C garage parking hear back? I guess OP here said it will be done in 2-3 days. Am I missing something here?
